Yesslin $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Cristal, and I’m a college student working at a private Montessori school. With five years of experience as a childcare provider, I’ve developed a deep passion for nurturing young minds and creating a safe, supportive environment where children can grow and thrive. I enjoy engaging kids in hands-on learning, sharing my curiosity for nature, science, and creative problem-solving. I’m patient, creative, and friendly, which helps me connect with children on a personal level, making their time with me enjoyable and educational. I’ve babysat for family, worked in daycares, and gained school experience, along with certifications in CPR, stress management, and trauma support. I love activities that spark imagination, from outdoor adventures to puzzles and board games. Though my schedule is best suited for weekends, I’m flexible and strive to meet your needs. I look forward to the chance to build a meaningful relationship with you and your children!

Hello! I am a former teacher and have extensive experience caring for children of all ages, including newborns. As a Mom of three grown children, I strongly believe in being proactive by providing guidance and positive support in age-appropriate and developmental level-appropriate activities, with an emphasis on growing and learning. My manner is calm and patient, with a focus on confidence building, clear communication, and fun! I am at all times aware that children model what adults do and say (both negative and positive!) I treat children with respect and kindness, without exception; I see mistakes as an opportunity to stop and gently learn the correct way. Each day should be filled with enthusiasm, positive energy, and lots of smiles! While nannying for a family, I strictly follow the parents' rules and guidelines, and work very hard to accomplish their expected outcomes for the child/children. I believe communication with parents, via phone, texts, pictures, videos, is very important. And I am at all times aware of and respect a family's privacy. I feel very comfortable (and love!) caring for newborns and infants; feedings (breast milk and formula); baby food preparation; frequent diaper changes, nap times, new stimulations through reading, music, toys, walks, outings, etc. For older children, my experience includes morning and bedtime routines; meal preparation and serving; school / lesson drop-offs and pick-ups; tutoring; homework supervision; play date supervision; screen time monitoring; learning through reading, music, crafts, outdoor play, library, museum and playplace visits, etc. I also have experience in almost every aspect of household assistance; grocery inventory and shopping (including searching several stores for that one special item!), meal prep, laundry, cleaning, etc. Additionally, I am now available for pet care / sitting. I am a “grandma” to a beautiful Siberian Forest cat and two adorable Pomeranians; I miss them whenever I am away! Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi! My name is Jayda and I'm originally from San Antonio, but I'm currently attending the University of North Texas! I have plenty of experience with both children and pets! I have a younger sister and baby cousin that I often babysit and love to provide care for. Additionally, I also worked as a camp leader in multiple church ministry's working with kids from K-8th grade. Back home in San Antonio I had two dogs and a cat I took care of, and currently own one cat here in Denton. I also have experience working in a veterinary clinic as a kennel technician. Another fact about me is that I am CPR and First Aid certified and I am trained in how to handle emergency situations, so not only will I provide the best care and support but I can also ensure that your children and/or pets will be safe! I am looking forward to working with you, feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns you may have!

Booked by 1 family in Argyle, TX

Howdy! My name is Ava and I am a grad student at UNT. I earned my bachelors degree in psychology from Texas A&M, and before I started my masters program, I spent 8 months nannying for a family with four kids ranging from 4 months to 9 years old. I truly believe in creating a positive space for children to feel safe and cared for. I love hearing kids silly stories and playing pretend games with them. I have a passion for helping children learn and grow. I was a dance teacher for 4 years and I have 9 years of babysitting experience overall, with kids ranging from infants to 15 years old. I am happy to help with homework or any other task you would like your child to accomplish. I am CPR and First Aid certified for infants, children, and adults. I am excited to meet you and your family and I look forward to working with you and your children!

“We met up for coffee for an interview, and she was punctual and professional. She asked great, relevant questions that told us she was taking it seriously. We're excited to have her take care of our girls.”

Hello, my name is Evelynn and im currently a freshman in college! I have 5 other siblings, 4 nieces and nephews, and have had many pets of my own! I’ve grown up around children and have experience caring for younger ones. I helped watch and care for my baby brother for 10+ years now. I’ve also babysat my nephew and niece countless of times, from ages 0-4. I can confidently say that I am patient when dealing with kids. I love to interact and play along with their games while also ensuring safety and security. No matter the age , I engage and make sure to create a comfortable space for whoever I’m watching. As for pets, I’ve had dogs, cats, birds , turtles, and a hamster! I love animals and would love to watch/play with them. I do not have too much experience with senior care but am willing to gain! As for everything else , I have reliable transportation, am willing to pick up children if needed, can do house chores, and would love to build lasting connections with your family!
